small box for mothers day

I wanted to make a nice, homemade present for my mom for mothers day. I got some nice ideas from this website and decided to make a box with splines. The box was made from 1/2” pine with walnut splines. I used a honey stain (A Minwax product) that gave this project some extra flavor. I used brass hinges and hook and eye to hold the lid firm. I used 5 coats of wipe on poly to finish with sanding in between. Thanks for checking it out! Please leave a comment or tips!
